Make your own cakemixes

This is a time saving tip for those who tend to keep "basic" ingrdients on hand. All the items you need can be purchased at Aldi for a steal, making this a very affordable tip as well. If you try the basic cake mix and like it, why not make a variety of mixes and package some up as gifts (would be great idea for Mother's Day).

Make your own basic cake mix is so easy. All you need are the basic items like flour, sugar etc and a storage container to keep it in. Here is a website with more options that work nice for gifts. The websites suggests mason jars, and I tend to agree that they would work best.
